ball empty excellent execution game knew last leaves lose phases played reason talented team three time turned
I think any time you lose a game like today, it leaves you with an empty feeling. We played a talented team and there is a reason why that team was 15-1 last year. We knew going in that it was going to take excellent execution on our part in all three phases of our team. Unfortunately we did not get that, we turned the ball over early.
drawing good
I think what they're doing is good for the game. They're drawing a lot of attention. They haven't really been challenged.
defense matter players
I think what it comes down to, no matter what defense you're in, it's a matter of players going out and making plays. I think many times (the scheme) is overrated.
totally
I think what you have is two totally different situations.
awful efficient game hard negative offensive sloppy
I think there's an awful lot for us to learn. We were not sharp. We were too sloppy at times with the turnovers and penalties. It's hard to have an efficient offensive game if you have that many negative plays.
area camp caught overtime ton training worked
Jerome caught a ton of punts in training camp because he really hadn't done much of that in college. We kind of worked him overtime in that area during camp.
fighting giving looking plays
Jerome has really been giving us a spark. When you are fighting through what we are fighting through, you are looking to try to make plays any way you can.
adverse difficult extremely good guys handling hard job played season until
Our guys played hard until the end again. They did a good job of handling a lot of adverse situations. It's been an extremely difficult season for all of us.
business coach football head heart job obviously soul tough understand win work
Well this obviously has been a long, tough year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way. I understand this business and I understand your job as a head football coach is to win games. Obviously when you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn't work out the way that you wanted and anticipated, then you're disappointed.
contribute guy special
We've had him working on that. He's a guy we thought could really contribute on special teams.
compete football improved takes team win
Overall, we improved as a football team yesterday. We did more of the things it takes to go in and compete and win a game.
case hope plan respond
Our plan is to have him do a little more in practice. Hopefully, he'll respond the way we hope he'll respond, and in that case he'll be the starter.
football good responsibility strides three win
Our responsibility was to win football games, and we made good strides the first three seasons, but we didn't get it done this year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way.
example excellent great improved player production works
I think he's done an excellent job. He's just a great example of a young player that works hard, has improved and the production has showed up on the field.
